A place for English speaking sofrim (scribes), magihim (examiners), rabbis and vendors of Stam (Torah, Tefillin and Mezuzah scrolls) from around the world to communicate, share ideas, ask questions and offer support and advice.
First Bet the tag is tall enough and a little thick however it is not at the exact far left corner, Possibly it would be a havchanos tinok. Just my speculation not a psak.
Second picture: Although the picture is not so clear it still seems that they are not at all touching(possibly even to a tinok).The Shavet Halevy is machshir even when they are extremely close (as long as they are recognizable to an adult that they are not touching). Some are stricter on this issue and require a Havchanos tinok.
Yosef chodesh tov, In regard to the beis I agree it is a shaylas tinok. In regard to the ches (it is not totaly clear, but maybe that is the correct picture) to my opinion it is pasul, because it has become a ches. But, as Dovid wrote the Sheivet Halevi and other Rabbis say as long as it is not touching, there is no question involved and it is kosher. I wrote about this issue in length on posts earlier this month: "the word Bechor that the vav and caf are very close"
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?
Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן. Nor are we interested in those who said to use עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is דיו עשן of good quality that does not ...
